Honestly, both teams left a lot out on the field in terms of things they’d like back. Allen County-Scottsville lived in the Raider half of the first half and had only 7 to show for it. East never figured out that they needed to bleed clock. There are ways to work tempo and still work the clock. This comeback is impossible if they do a better job of it. There were costly penalties for each team, and critically, East drove to the 4 up two late, but a penalty took them back to the 20 and out of field goal range. Just a lot of errors.

Patriots win 35-31.

Warren East starts from own 28. 38.1 left. Allen County-Scottsville just called their last timeout.

RB slips on conversion, it is no good. Allen County-Scottsville leads 35-31. 42.8 left. Raiders have no timeouts remaining.

Allen County-Scottsville picked up the conversion on third, and runs it in for a 9 yard score the next play. Two point try pending.

Patriots face a 3rd and 25 from the Raider 34. 1:08 remaining. Patriots just spent one of their timeouts, meaning this becomes a must conversion.

This game is absolutely littered with choices these teams are going to want back.

That two point try was there. Adams held the ball a little too long, and the timing seemed such that it carried him out of bounds. Raiders seem poised to drive to a backbreaking touchdown here.

If they lose, I imagine when they look back, they’ll care.

East may win, but they also seem to have no plan to burn clock.

East has had the better of ACS in recent years. But it is rather stunning watching their line dominate in this fashion.

East is dominating in the trenches right now. Allen County-Scottsville has squandered several opportunities, while East has made good each time they got inside the 40 or so.

Come onnnnnn Brew Crew.

Braves going out was a mercy killing. I’m disappointed the season is over but honestly, I’m also not. I’ve never seen a team take so many injuries in a single year.
